THE TIME HAS COME! Here is the first half of the bracket for round 1. Each user is allowed to choose 6 options when voting. Each pairing of people battling it out has been separated by a placeholder. It’s simple, just pick who’s video you like more from each separate battle, click next to their name, and vote. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!! StrippedAxle v. J Singh 2k J Singh 2k failed to submit. StrippedAxle gets a free win. I think we all know how this one was gonna turn out anyways. rdeleon975 v.

Btw people, don’t make this a popularity contest. Please vote for the person with the better skill and or overall better video. Editing and stuff can make a huge difference in what I vote for as well as skill. ---

You’re smooth:) maybe not the most insane complicated tricks, but the style is there for sure. I had no doubt you would be stiff competition. ---
